(where fitted)
The outside rear-view mirrors will be defogged when
the defogger switch is activated.
XENON HEADLIGHTS (where fitted)
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
When xenon headlights are on, they produce
a high voltage. To prevent an electric shock,
never attempt to modify or disassemble. Al-
ways have your xenon headlights replaced at
an authorised NISSAN dealer or qualified
workshop.
Xenon headlights provide considerably more
light than conventional headlights. If they are
not correctly aimed, they might temporarily
blind an oncoming driver or the driver ahead
of you and cause a serious accident. If head-
lights are not aimed correctly, immediately
take your vehicle to a NISSAN dealer or quali-
fied workshop and have the headlights ad-
justed correctly.
When the xenon headlight is initially turned on, its
brightness or colour varies slightly. However, the
colour and brightness will soon stabilise.
The life of xenon headlights will be shortened by
frequent on-off operation. It is generally desir-
able not to turn off the headlights for short inter-
vals (for example, when the vehicle stops at a
traffic signal).
If the xenon headlight bulb is close to burning
out, the brightness will drastically decrease, the
light will start blinking, or the colour of the light will become reddish. If one or more of the above
signs occur, contact a NISSAN dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
NISSAN recommends you to consult the local regu-
lations concerning the use of lights.

HEADLIGHT AIMING CONTROL
SWITCH (where fitted)
Depending on the number of occupants in the ve-
hicle and the load it is carrying, the headlight axis
may be higher than desired. If the vehicle is travel-
ling on a hilly road, the headlights may directly hit the
rear-view mirror of the vehicle ahead or the wind-
screen of an oncoming vehicle. The light axis can be
lowered using the switch located on the driver’s
side of the instrument panel, next to the steering
wheel.
The higher the number designated on the switch,
the lower the axis.
When travelling with no heavy load on a flat road,
select position 0.

stop.
Alarm system operation
The system will give the following alarm:
The siren sounds intermittently and all direction
indicators will flash.
The alarm automatically turns off after 28 sec-
onds.
The alarm is activated when:
The volumetric sensing system (ultrasonic sen-
sors) is triggered.
Any door/the back door is opened.
The bonnet is opened.
The ignition circuit is turned on without the own-
er’s key being used.
The alarm system will stop when:
The vehicle is unlocked using the keyfob unlock
